Just figured I'd list my Apple branded CDs, see if there is anything interesting to anyone.
Ones marked with an asterisk (*) mean I have more than one, and would be willing to sell it if someone really wants one.
Sorted by version:
'Plain' OS discs:
System 7.0 beta 4 (also contains disk images for 5.0, 5.1, 6.0, and 6.0.2 through 6.0.7, but, strangely, missing 6.0.6, even though the readme claims it's included. The insert is a 'System 7.0 Group Upgrade' insert, meaning that this disc was a beta copy of the "Group Upgrade" disc, which was distributed to businesses that had volume licenses. It's the only 7.0 CD I've ever seen, although I'm sure they actually did do the Group Upgrade discs after 7.0 went final. Also of note, it wasn't yet decided that the final name would be just "System 7". The disc says "Macintosh System Software Release 7.0 Beta 4", and the disc cover says "Macintosh System 7.0 CD-ROM".)
System 7.5.0 (Says "Macintosh System 7.5" in big red print as the 'headline' on the disc, and "SSW Version 7.5.0 CD Version 1.0" in the small print at the bottom. One of the only times I've seen Apple use x.x.0, see the next disc for comparison.)
*System 7.5 Group Upgrade (Says "Macintosh System 7.5" in big purple print as the 'headline', with "Group Upgrade" as the subhead in italic purple. "SSW Version 7.5 CD Version 1.0" at the bottom, note the missing .0. I have a bunch of these, at least one with an included "Before You Install" 800k floppy.)
System 7.5 Update 2.0 (Just what it says, "For system software versions 7.5, 7.5.1, and 7.5.2" in small print.)
*System 7.5.3 (Says "Macintosh System 7.5" in big purple print just like the 7.5.0 group upgrade, but has "Version 7.5.3" as the subhead. The small print at the bottom is just "CD Version 1.0" One copy of it includes the only Apple 3.5" disks I have seen in a sealed plastic bag, that are "Macintosh System 7.5 / Version 7.5.3 / Disk Tools" with one being for "68000, 68020, 68030, or 68040... with a SCSI hard disk." and one for "PowerPC processor, or a PowerPC Upgrade Card, or a 68040 processor with an IDE hard disk".)
Mac OS 7.6
Mac OS 7.6.1
Mac OS8 (I note that there is no space between "OS" and "8", like there is on 7.6, this disc is version 8.0)
Mac OS 8.1 (the top says "Mac OS 8", with a space between "OS" and "8", and only says version 8.1 in the fint print at the bottom.)
Mac OS 8.5 (I have two different 8.5 discs. They both have a large '8' in the center of the disc, spanning the hole, with a face in the center of the top hole in the 8, and a globe in the bottom hole in the 8; but one has a solid green background, and one has a funky textured green background.)
Mac OS 9.2.1
Mac OS X Public Beta
Mac OS X 10.0.3 (Actually from a restore kit from an iBook.)
Mac OS X 10.1 ("Up-to-Date" upgrade CD, not bootable.)

Mac OS X 10.3
Mac OS X 10.4

MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.4.5)
MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.4.6)
That's all for now, I'll add the non-OS discs later.
edit 3/21/08: Since I just referenced this thread from a new thread, I figured I'd better edit my list: I now have only one copy each of OS X Public Beta and the Quadra 610/650 discs. I traded away one of my Quadra discs, and one of my OS X Public Beta discs got lost in the mail heading to another 68kmla member! GAH!
